Tom Brady is a no show at Patriots OTA’s after an offseason spent asserting his independence from Bill Belichick, but during a press conference today, Belichick was asked to address his five time Super Bowl winning quarterback’s absence.

In typical Belichick fashion, he refused to comment on Brady’s absence and deflected the question, saying, “I’m not going to talk about the people who aren’t here.” Belichick similarly answered when asked about Rob Gronkowski not showing up. He was happy to talk about lacrosse.

It’s only May and this is already looking ugly. Brady’s Rebellion continues.
